Amazing wildlife, both on land and underwater, make the remote Galapagos Islands a bucket list destination
  • Encounter the nearly extinct giant Galapagos tortoises, as well as blue-footed boobies, pelicans, frigatebirds, land and marine iguanas, sea lions, fur seals and maybe even dolphins and whales!
  • Go snorkelling on multiple days throughout different islands, keeping an eye out for sea turtles and the harmless Galapagos shark.
  • Get your blood pumping as you scale the Sierra Negra Volcano – one of the Galapagos’ most active volcanoes and home to the world's second-largest crater!
  • Learn how to make the famed encebollado – a local tuna soup considered one of the best in the world! Watch a cooking demonstration, then tuck into the hearty dish for lunch.
  • Experience a land-based Galapagos trip, using locally owned hotels on the islands instead of staying on a boat – this means you’ll have more opportunities to interact with the locals.
Stay in hotels, with the accommodation style in the day-to-day itinerary serving as a guideline that may change due to availability; when substitutions are needed, a similar standard is used. Early arrivals may not allow immediate check-in; luggage can be stored and, on some trips, shared day rooms are provided.
